Can anybody point me towards a good information source on 3 link suspension?
I bought an asphalt modified chassis that had been rear clipped and the 3 link that was on it won't be legal to sport mod rules. (I am NOT running this car on dirt, it is still going to be an asphalt car, but the rules are mostly copied from IMCA Northern Sport Mod.)
I just need a basic idea of what should go where and how, and what changing things (bar angles, etc) will do.
Thanks.

If I read you correctly, geometry lessons is it! A bar gets longer as flattened between points A and B! Roll amount then controls steer! The angles controls rates of steer by the same amount of movement or vise-versa! Our norm is different to yours mostly by stiffer springs limiting movement and stiffer shocks to control sudden change and v/versa! Each spring package goes by total weight and percentages of weight placement of components! Percentages vary in each chassis design and set-up chosen! Changing from dirt our stock car won no problem! Mods needed calming considerable! Look at a stock chassis, lean it left hard with lead and ride heights up or down and lean right to left controls rear bar settings! Different set-ups require different bar angles side to side to make them work as designed! We have always won with little variation or rear bars and only then by left lean and rolling back right only to level! Sorry no exact numbers! Someone help this guy!!!!
